On a cobweb afternoon in a room full of emptiness By a freeway, I confess I was lost in the pages Of a book full of death, reading how we´ll die alone And if we´re good, we´ll lay to rest anywhere we want to go
In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I´ll wait for you there, like a stone I´ll wait for you there, alone
And on my deathbed, I will pray to the gods and the angels Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven To a place I recall, I was there so long ago The sky was bruised, the wine was bled, and there you led me on
In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I´ll wait for you there, like a stone I´ll wait for you there, alone, alone
And on I read, until the day was gone And I sat in regret of all the things I´ve done For all that I´ve blessed, and all that I´ve wronged In dreams until my death, I will wander on
In your house, I long to be Room by room, patiently I´ll wait for you there, like a stone I´ll wait for you there, alone, alone
